We help clients use photographic, Earth observation and radar based imagery from satellites, drones and aircraft as evidence.

We help individuals, companies and governments with image sourcing and analysis, we advise on the use of satellite imagery to resolve disputes and legal issues and we provide expert witness testimony.

We work closely with governments on earth observation policy issues and tackling environmental problems. We're currently working on Waste from Space - detecting illegal landfill sites using satellite technology

REGULATORY DRIVEN SERVICES AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION

We are witnessing a growing number of regulatory applications for Earth observation data being developed domestically and internationally. Recent examples include the following:

Agricultural subsidy monitoring in Europe and the U.S.

Water extraction in Spain

Vegetation clearing in Australia

Illegal logging in Brazil

Start-up Regulatory Programmes

We can provide professional advice as to the start-up of Earth observation monitoring into regulatory programmes. This will include advice as to whether at an operational level certain Earth observation technologies are going to be compatible with the evidential requirements needed in the regulatory programme, and whether they fit in with departmental budgets.

Existing Regulatory Programmes

We can also examine existing regulatory programmes where Earth observation is already used and offer suggestions for improvement.

Areas where we might be in a position to assist include:

Sourcing and negotiating the purchase of imagery

Improving detection results

Financial savings when compared with other investigations

Improving stakeholders perceptions

Analysis as to opinions of regulated groups

Advice on potential impacts on compliance behaviour

Advice on possible efficiency and regulatory gains

Development of compliance plans

Staffing resources and training

Compliance indicators

Design of regulatory structures to get the best out of an Earth observation monitoring programme
